Sentinels of Freedom provides four-year "life scholarships" to severely wounded veterans of Iraq and Afghanistan. It was founded in San Ramon in 2004 and has been expanded across the country. Carhart and Wafflard will receive assistance on jobs, housing and higher education for the four years they are in the program.

Two of the original Sentinels of Freedom were Jake Brown, the first scholarship recipient, who was hired in a management position by Sybase in Dublin; and the second recipient, Manny Mendoza-Velencia, who has just purchased his own first home, in Danville.
